Wonderful Penthouse Stay in Athens

Our stay in the penthouse in Athens was a great experience that our family will cherish for a long time. The highlight of the unit is undoubtedly the amazing rooftop terrace, which offers an excellent view of the Acropolis. Watching the historic landmark from the comfort of our terrace was truly breathtaking. The layout of the unit was a bit confusing at first, but it served our purposes well during the visit. Initially, the location seemed a bit odd, as it is situated on a street with commercial businesses. However, after a day, we got familiar with the neighborhood, and we really appreciated its walkability. Being able to easily reach Monastiraki Square and explore all the nearby shops, restaurants, and bars was fantastic. Wandering through the streets turned into an amazing adventure. We stumbled upon an area filled with lively Cuban restaurants and music, which added a vibrant touch to our trip. Sampling the local eateries and gelaterias was another highlight, giving us a true taste of Athens. A particularly memorable part of our stay was chartering a catamaran through Sailing Athens. This experience was a welcome retreat from the June heat. The company provided seamless transportation to and from the cruise, and we enjoyed a chef-prepared meal onboard, making it a luxurious and relaxing day. Overall, the penthouse's great location and unique charm make it highly recommended for anyone visiting Athens. We look forward to staying here again on our next trip!

Best view in town

A couple and two teenage girls on a long weekend in Athens to celebrate my birthday. I can not imagine a better place in Athens. The Acropolis and the Parthenon seem like they are part of the house. It is so near and so clear day and night. The owner is a well known professional in Athens art scene, very pleasant to talk to, with excellent recommendations for restaurants and caring about all our needs. He stocked the apartment with milk cheese, eggs, fruits , bread biscuits etc and when he came to bring us an extra heater, he brought us an excellent bottle of wine. The place itself is modern, clean and has everything for a trouble/hassle free holiday. The layout of the apartment which is like three small studios joined together and the existence of huge verandas and two sitting rooms, provide many options for sitting, eating, socializing etc. And the place is in the middle of everything. Less than two minutes walk from the metro station, the Monasteraki square, the pedestrian Ermou street, the upcoming Aeolou street and Ayias Irinis square many restaurants and bars, the Varvakios market (the fish market is a must see), and within walking distance from Syntagma, kolonaki, and Plaka. If I had to improve something, I would provide for a second shower by converting one of the three toilets. Thank you Mr Gerasimos for a lovely stay.

Acropolis

Once we entered the Vrbo, we were truly impressed with the view and the accommodations. We were near all the top areas in Athens including restaurants. The kitchen was well appointed. The entry way and the lifts does not give the vrbo justice and needs to be improved for first impressions. The front bedroom facing the Acropolis has a sewer smell from the bathroom. They said it was being looked into. For walking and tours you can’t beat the location

A Perfect Stay with Stunning Acropolis Views

My adult children and I stayed at the Acropolis Panorama View Penthouse w. Private Terraces in June 2024, and it was an amazing experience! The location was a dream, offering breathtaking views of the Acropolis and Parthenon. The property was incredibly comfortable and well-maintained, providing all the amenities we needed for a perfect stay. The owner was very easy to work with, making the whole process smooth and enjoyable. I will rent here again, and I highly recommend this penthouse for anyone visiting Athens!

Exceeded expectations

This place is really fantastic for its exceptional view of the Acropolis from the large terrace as well as the location at Monisteraki Square. The apartment is spacious with a kitchen with large windows and an additional terrace. The interior is a bit quirky but worked well for our family of 5. Gerasimos was a great host. He replaced some terrace chairs within hours of our reporting some damage and assisted us with arranging a private chef to cook a meal at the apartment (which was fantastic). He also assisted us with transportation from the airport and to the port.

Beautiful stay in central Athens

This was a truly lovely apartment in the best possible location. Walking distance to everything important, including Acropolis, National Archeological Museum, and metro, restaurants. We felt very safe in the apartment and walking around the area. There is a supermarket right next door, and several bakeries for morning pastries and coffee. The apartment is well-appointed, with a washing machine, lots of soap/shampoo, hairdryer, iron, etc. The kitchen has all of the appliances you would need. The apartment is on an upper floor, but there are two elevators that work well. The owner, Gerosimos, is kind and helpful. He reached out both before and during our stay to offer his assistance with airport transfers, recommendations, etc. He met us on arrival and showed us around the apartment. He was easy to get ahold of throughout our stay. The absolute best part of this apartment is the view from the rooftop deck. Even though we had a packed itinerary, we found ourselves wanting to stay in and just enjoy the beautiful weather and sunshine while taking in the stunning vista of the entire Acropolis. I cannot imagine a better view exists in all of Athens. This apartment was the perfect place to finish our trip to Greece, and it elevated our time in Athens to stay in such a beautiful and convenient accommodation. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful View, Gracious Host

We stayed with our family of 5 in March. It was warm enough to easily enjoy the priceless roof deck during the day and with several layers at night. Regardless, the view from inside is just as spectacular. There were enough sleeping spaces to comfortably accommodate us. The apartment was perfectly clean, and the host had graciously stocked the fridge with a few key items since we arrived so late the markets were closed. Would definitely recommend this place to any type of group!

Checks Every Box Perfectly

We knew little about Athens going in, but we could not have booked a more perfect rental for three days in the city. It is right in the middle of everything and is so easy to see the sites without using any transportation. Great food options are everywhere along with great rooftop bars for evening cocktails. The view of the Parthenon on the Acropolis was amazing at night. The owner (Gerasimos) gave us a quick but thorough orientation upon arrival along with recommendations of where to go and how to get there. He made himself available but also was not intrusive. When we left a piece of jewelry behind, he kindly sent it to us in the U.S. I highly recommend for families and groups of friends traveling to Athens!

Athens VRBO - Excellent!

Gerasimos was an absolutely wonderful host and we had a great time staying in his Athens VRBO. The view from the apartment was spectacular - looking directly at the Parthenon from the large veranda/seating area. Everything was as pictured/describe. Pre-trip communication was excellent, information/access to the flat was perfect, everything clean, functioning, and comfortable. He went above and beyond to ensure airport pickup, arranged drivers, and answer the many questions we had during our Athens stay (excursions, places to visit, etc.). Gerasimos was hands down the best rental host we have ever experienced in our vacations throughout Europe, Asia, and Australia. Highly recommended.
